The Pi installer removes a legacy skill path during install and uninstall, but that path can belong to the user rather than Hivemind. Preserve unowned paths while retaining cleanup for the historical installer state. Constraint: Preserve historical cleanup for paths carrying the old Hivemind version sentinel Rejected: Always preserve the path | leaves stale Hivemind legacy files behind Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Keep the preservation marker tied to the installer state before changing legacy cleanup again Tested: cli-install-pi-fs and install-prune Vitest suites, TypeScript noEmit Not-tested: Windows-specific filesystem semantics
A Pi-wide version stamp says only that Hivemind was installed; it does not establish ownership of a same-named skill directory. Restrict migration to the two exact historical skill payloads, and refuse recursive removal when the path has changed shape or acquired user content. Constraint: Preserve cleanup of verified, unmodified legacy Pi skill artifacts without deleting unknown files. Rejected: Treat ~/.pi/agent/.hivemind/.hivemind_version as ownership | the stamp is global to the Pi integration, not provenance for the skill path. Rejected: Add a preservation marker after inspection | that would label unknown content instead of proving its origin. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Reversibility: clean Directive: Do not broaden legacy cleanup beyond exact target-local provenance or historically shipped bytes. Tested: 113 adjacent installer tests, TypeScript noEmit, full TypeScript/esbuild build on Node 22.22.0. Not-tested: Filesystem mutation racing between verification and unlink.

Use exact assertions for preservation behavior.
Generic substring assertions can pass when the warning or preserved file content is otherwise incorrect.

Summary
Fixes #386.
At baseline ce30de7, Pi installation and uninstallation recursively remove ~/.pi/agent/skills/hivemind-memory on the assumption that it is an old Hivemind artifact. That location can contain user-authored content. A Pi-wide version stamp does not establish ownership of this separate directory.
Preserve unknown or modified contents, extra files, symlinks and file/directory mismatches. Remove only an otherwise-empty real directory containing one regular SKILL.md whose bytes match one of the two historically shipped Pi artifacts. Use unlink plus nonrecursive rmdir; otherwise warn and leave manual cleanup to the user.
Regression evidence
17 focused and 113 adjacent installer tests passed. Negative controls reproduce deletion on unchanged source and show why a global version-stamp guard is insufficient. Tests cover exact historical artifact migration, modified/user content, additional files, symlinks and shape mismatches.
Version Bump
No release requested. Package versions, dependency lockfiles and release workflows are unchanged.
Test plan
38bf3bb9b3ed7377451dac6ed1179817c8e1e647passes the independent Node 22/Linux full suite with coverage, zero failed and zero skipped tests.Exact commands and retained validation artifacts, job
cli-pi-legacy-skill-ownership. This is a standalone branch gate, not a result borrowed from a combined branch.Limits
A narrow inspection-to-unlink race remains, but removal is nonrecursive and rmdir refuses newly nonempty directories. This is not a hostile-local-filesystem authentication mechanism. Native Windows execution was not tested. Existing Pi bundle-packaging PR #362 addresses a different issue.
The unchanged full macOS baseline has 19 failures and 10 skips; a clean full macOS run is not claimed. No credentials, customer data or live model/API requests were used in regressions.
